Ingredients
Instructions
-
-
Heat the grill to medium, or heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
-
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to 3/8-inch thick.
-
-
Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
-
Grill chicken breasts for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest for 4 to 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Watch them carefully—there is a fine line between toasted almonds and burnt almonds! Shake the pan gently. When you begin to smell the almonds, toast for a few seconds more, then immediately place the almonds on a paper towel. Allow them to cool for a moment or two.
-
Assemble salads by first putting the lettuce in bowls or on plates, 3 to 4 cups per serving.
-
Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of carrots, 1/4 cup crispy rice noodles, and 1/4 cup toasted almonds.
-
Arrange the chicken on top.
-
Serve with Applebee’s Oriental Salad Dressing.

- Add mandarin orange slices
- Add sliced red onions
- Add thinly sliced green onion or scallions
- Add more sliced almonds
- Swap the nuts for soy nuts, cashews, walnuts, or pecans
- Swap the chicken for shrimp
- Use mesclun or mixed green salad mix instead of romaine
